Don’t waste your money!

Chose to play Colony West recently with an old friend because we used to play there back in the day. It was always a great layout. But the current condition of this course is atrocious! The greens, fairways, and bunkers are all in terrible condition. I can’t believe I paid $50 to play this cow pasture! It’s a shame because it used to be a great track. Only bright spot was the friendly staff and the restaurant was pretty decent.

Terrible coarse condition

Wow, sad how they have let this place go! I The tee boxes, fairways and around the greens are one of the worst I have ever played on and they have let the green's go recently! Crazy that they put so much money into the clubhouse to have such a crappy course! I live 5 minutes away but will not play here again unless something changes. The greens's keeper should be fired immediately!

HOLE IN ONE

Gotta give my love to this course, got my first ever Hole in one on hole 8. My buddy was there to witness it, called my brother while I ran up to the green. 24 years old, greatest moment of my life.

So Disappointed!!!

Want to start by saying that this is absolutely one of the best layed out courses in SoFla. That staff was friendly & new pro shop was nice. The course was in terrible condition. Recent rain was problem with greens & give the greens an honest pass. But around the greens were bad. Grass patches here & there, with dirt & sand everywhere else. Tee boxes in poor condition.

Truly a disappointment that this layout is treated so poorly. & the fact that they try to extort premium price is ridiculous. City of Tamarac(owners) should either turn this green space into a park, OR BETTER YET, invest the same $$$ into the course & have A GEM that could return revenue to the city. You know, like Palm Beach County does with their courses.

Very challenging course.

The layout of the course is very challenging, however the tee boxes and fairways require better upkeep. Tee boxes are over used and bare. Fairway also has bare patches and clumps of crabgrass.

The clubhouse/proshop facilities are new and very expansive.

But I question why there was no beverycarts on the course on Sunday Father’s Day on a bery hot humid day?
